Elena Machlica

Elena was introduced to yoga in college by following Rodney Yee’s videos and was intrigued by
how yoga seemed to connect her to nature. As she deepened her practice she found herself
becoming gentler, more compassionate and introspective, and decided it was time to learn
more about this practice and complete her 200-hour teacher training at the Yoga Center of
Minneapolis. Now she practices yoga to find gratitude in the everyday, to foster self-love, to
maintain and tune into a healthy body-mind connection, and to connect to something much
greater than herself. She tries to embody two intentions every single day: trust and gratitude.
Off the mat, Elena spends her time adoring her baby boy, Rowan, exploring the Twin Cities with
her husband, and loving on her adorable toothless dog, Aspen.
